For Moritz Grossmann, the goal behind this new PERPETUAL CALENDAR was to create a timepiece that outlasts the changing eras and preserves its being in perpetuity. Its mechanism keeps the date display correct permanently, even when the months differ in length or the year is a leap year. This complication is considered one of the greatest challenges in watchmaking and combines precise technology with master craftsmanship.

For the 17th anniversary of its rebirth, the Glashütte-based manufactory is unveiling an impressive, newly engineered design. Ever since Christine Hutter brought new life to the tradition-filled Moritz Grossmann name in 2008, the brand has stood for a combination of classic mechanisms, contemporary style and utmost craftsmanship.
